There seems to be a modern trend with attacking players hailing from the Eredivisie over the last few years.
Memphis Depay started his career on the left and is now a central striker. More recently, Cody Gakpo is being used as a false nine at Liverpool after spending most of his career as a winger.
And Ajax star Mohammed Kudus, a player who can operate as an attacking midfielder or on the right flank, has been played as a striker 16 times this season. United fans will hope Antony does not follow the same path given his meagre one-on-one skills. Kudus, though, hasn’t done too badly.
